So...you wanna be a delegate?

Michael Bersin at "Show Me Progress" describes in some detail the process for becoming a Delegate to the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver. Many of us here in Mid Missouri had similar experiences as Michael in the last election cycle...caucusing (This is after the Primary...stay tuned!) at the precinct level, meeting at the County level and then the District and State conventions.

I and many Dean supporters in mid Missouri became Edwards delegates to the State Convention and one of our group went on to Boston. These gatherings and elections in the Delegate process are in my opinion, very rewarding. Show up...and the Party belongs to you.

Here is a link to Michael's article:

I know everyone is now highly involved in the presidential Primary. Next up, while working to elect our State and local candidates...is this parallel activity of Delegate selection, platform formation and participation in the State and National Democratic Party.

Lets go for it!
